May 21, 2020 Dear People of God,

“Called to Embrace a New Pentecost”

The springtime of the first Pentecost, as the Holy Spirit descended upon the Disciples in the upper room, was made visible with a rushing wind and tongues of fire. The new springtime of reopening our liturgical gatherings is a Pentecost event that will be ushered in with a gentle breeze and a flame of patient love that speaks to the grace of tenderness. In a world gripped by the pandemonium of the Covid-19 pandemic, we must be the heralds of the Good News and the peace of Christ that shines through the cross and tribulation. The joy of reopening our churches to celebrate together the Sacred Liturgy must unfold carefully, lest our hopeful return to our cherished sacramental life be dashed by haste and the dreaded spike in Covid-19 cases. We can learn much from our Church history. The quiet and small communities of the catacombs were defined by mutual trust and accountability, essential for the Church’s very survival and the earliest formulation of standards for Christian community as seen in the Acts of the Apostles. We too, must adapt to a new normal if we are to gather as models of Christian love and service to the larger community. The return to our churches must be like the leaven in the dough, measured and small, however I am confident new strengths and graces will continue to emerge. This absence from the familiar has set us on a new path and a new apostolic adventure. We have perhaps learned that being a Catholic is so much more than attending church on Sunday, as important as that may be. Like the analogy of the water from the village well, faith is to be given away and shared with the whole household, for we do not live at the well. Another learning that has come forward because of our experience with Covid -19 is that we have experienced the lock-down and lockout of thousands of Christians in the world, including our own Diocese and country, due to geographical and existential marginalization. We have been privileged to live a solidarity with so many who rarely, or only occasionally, gather to celebrate the Sacramental life, or hear the Gospel preached. My prayer and great hope is that this experience of want and need will have awakened in all of us a new horizon of hope and missionary zeal that will drive us outward beyond a faith of self-preservation, to a faith of giving it all up for the least of these. As we prepare to re-open the doors of our churches, three considerations are essential:

1. Stable and identifiable communities for worship; 2. Social distancing and sanitization; 3. Tenderness, patience and kindness are necessary virtues, as we are all vulnerable.

Stable identifiable communities for worship that will gather in churches must be under 50 people, and smaller churches will mean that there will be less than 50 to maintain the two meter social distancing requirement. This will take careful planning and organization with some kind of pre-registration. Opening the doors and just letting people come as they please would be irresponsible and has the potential to create big problems at the church door. In larger parishes, it will be impossible to accommodate every one for the Sunday Liturgy; therefore, the weekdays present an important opportunity for participation. Separate directives and guidelines with specific protocols to help the pastors and parishes plan for reopening our churches will provide further direction. There are enormous benefits to creating stable communities of less than 50 people who are pre-registered/assigned to attend a particular Mass:

a. We will have an opportunity to get to know the people who worship together. b. We will be encouraged to become accountable and co-responsible for ministries, faith and

life sharing, and even the sanitization of the place we sit and touch. c. We know the community to be a crucial aspect of a healthy Christian life, and this will be

the time to live the dream of authentic witness, co-responsible, and missionary discipleship. d. We will imagine the outreach and the leadership potential. e. We will be able to understand contact tracing for if one member of our little community

tested positive for Covid-19, the other 49 people could be immediately tested and helped. If people are permitted to travel from Mass to Mass, the possibility of an outbreak could close the whole parish for a very long time. This type of controlled, organized group will be helpful for the health system in the event of an outbreak of Covid-19.

f. We are called to be the model of a loving family that learns to live with strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities.

We know that it is an act of supreme charity for another to stay home if we are sick or unwell. The vulnerable elders and those with compromised health are encouraged to stay home. The live streaming Masses from the Cathedral will continue. We must avoid all semblance of distinction for the people who are fit and able to attend Mass and those who participate remotely. Every part of the Body of Christ is essential and it is the weaker members who deserve the greatest honour. As we move towards a new horizon of hope, I pray that the Spirit of Pentecost will enflame our hearts with grace and tenderness. Jesus in the gift of the Holy Spirit this Pentecost speaks to us as He did to the frightened disciples in the storm tossed boat “do not be afraid”. In our little lifeboat, we row onward together, pulling in the many poor souls adrift and too weak to swim as we press on to a shore we have not yet seen…. “Do not be afraid”. In Communion,

GENERAL DIRECTIVES for the Reopening of Churches during Covid-19 Dear Pastors, Administrators, Deacons, and People of God, Covid-19 has caused tremendous stress and anxiety for us as we have come to recognize that we are all vulnerable. We have continued to be persistent in prayer and participated in opportunities for Mass remotely via live streaming. As we move forward, we must continue to exercise caution as we prepare to reopen our Churches, in a limited way, to celebrate the Sacred Liturgy together. Though some restrictions have been relaxed, we need to continue to stay vigilant with infection prevention, modelling and monitoring good behaviour, and mandating strict protocols regarding cleaning and sanitization. The strict directives provided by our Provincial authorities, including the limit of all public gatherings for Mass to no more than 50 people, social distancing, etc. must be respected during this time. During this time of uncertainty, we are being called to embrace a new Pentecost, a new reality that will be ushered in with a gentle breeze and a flame of patient love that speaks to the grace of tenderness. As we prepare our faith communities to reopen to celebrate Pentecost together on May 30, 2020, we recognize that each parish has different resources that must be carefully considered. Each parish must take responsibility for following the established Guidelines and Liturgical Directives and make the appropriate adaptations for their individual communities based upon size and resources, and communicate with parishioners via the usual methods of email, webpage, or phone. Due diligence is required as we all have a responsibility to guarantee the well-being of all our communities. DIRECTIVES:

1. DISPENSATION FROM THE OBLIGATION to attend Sunday Mass:

Parishioners in the Diocese of Victoria remain dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass during this initial reopening phase.

2. CHARITY, care and concern for others:

All those attending Mass do so at their own risk and must take responsibility for protecting themselves and others. Individuals may consider the option of wearing a mask to increase their level of safety and comfort.

2 | P a g e

As an act of supreme charity, the following people must stay home for the sake of others in the community: a. People with Covid-19, or those who live with someone with Covid-19. b. People who have been exposed to someone with Covid-19 c. The sick, including those with ANY symptoms or feelings of sickness, especially if they

have a fever, upper respiratory or flu-like symptoms. d. Those who have recently travelled outside of Canada.

The following are encouraged to stay home: a. People who live with someone with upper respiratory or flu-like symptoms. b. People, especially the elderly (over 65 years of age) with underlying or comprised medical

conditions. c. Family members who live with elderly people or those at risk.

3. COMMUNICATION:

a. Pastors and Administrators, in consultation with their Parish Pastoral Councils, Liturgical Committee, Parish Support Staff and others concerned, must communicate clearly and effectively with their parishioners their plans for when and how they will resume public Masses.

Specifically, the communication must cover these areas:

¾ How the parish will determine the 50-person maximum to attend a given Mass?

¾ How the parish will ensure physical distancing?

¾ The measures the parish will take to ensure proper cleaning & sanitizing.

b. The Mass schedule, if altered to allow more time between Masses for cleaning or to provide for additional Masses, should be published and the revised schedule sent to the Chancellor.

4. CONGREGATION LIMITED TO 50 Person Maximum (including the Pastor): a. Parishioners will sign up to attend a specific Mass at a specific time on a regular basis.

Aside from people with special needs, preferential treatment should be avoided. Among the possibilities for assigning parishioners are a rotation based on the first letter of last names; an online ticketing system; or the formation of fixed “community Mass groups.”

b. A sign-up system is the simplest and recommended method for parishes to solicit the names of parishioners who wish to attend a regular Sunday Mass or Mass during the week. Depending on the method of sign-up chosen, the parishioners should be able to choose the Mass they prefer to attend insofar as this is possible.

3 | P a g e

c. Each “community Mass group” will be assigned a regular Mass time on Saturday, Sunday or a weekday. They may not attend a Mass at another time; nor should they sign up for more than one Mass. Multiple and easily accessible options for sign-up should be employed, such as a combination of methods including online sign-ups, written sign-ups, email, and phone calls.

d. A “first-come, first-served” system, as well as exclusively online or email sign-up systems should be avoided since restriction to these methods might exclude many who otherwise would wish to attend.

e. Signs should be placed on the church doors to indicate the Mass schedule, provide a telephone number, and email address for people wanting to attend Mass.

f. Physical distancing guidelines should be posted on the church doors and, where appropriate, elsewhere inside the church. The Diocese will provide a limited number of posters and social distancing “stand here” decals as templates for each parish to display.

g. A database record of the contact information is required and a detailed list (“attendance roster” or log record) of those who attend each Mass must be retained. In the case of an individual who tests positive for COVID-19, the parish will be able to assist public health officials with tracing by contacting everyone who may have been exposed.

5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF USHERS AND GREETERS:

a. The responsibilities of the volunteer ushers and greeters will actually increase during this time for they will be the first point of contact for arriving parishioners. They need to be masked, identified by badges or other means, and able to interact with the parishioners while still maintaining physical distancing.

b. The ushers/greeters should have a copy of an “attendance roster” to confirm that those who arrive for Mass have previously signed up and that their contact information is available.

c. Ushers stationed at the church entrance can monitor those who enter, reminding them of the requirement for physical distancing of two metres and for sanitizing their hands. Members of a single household may enter and exit together, since they do not need to practice physical distancing with each other.

d. Hand sanitizing should take place near the entrance to the church for those coming to Mass. A bottle of sanitizer, touched by many, should not be used. Instead, an automatic dispenser or an usher/greeter wearing a mask will need to spray the hands of those entering.

e. The ushers/greeters would also be responsible for pointing out available pews for seating.

f. The ushers/greeters could also be responsible for spacing and limiting parishioners entering the line for communion.

4 | P a g e

6. PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL DISTANCING:

a. Except for members of the same household, physical distancing is to be observed everywhere on the church property (in the church, on the steps, in the parking lot, etc.); close contact with those outside one’s household must not be within two metres of another person.

b. The maximum of 50 people on the Church property (including church, hall, parking lot, etc.)

at one time must be strictly followed.

c. Smaller churches may not be able to accommodate 50 people at a time to allow for the required social and physical distancing requirements; therefore, the parish will need to determine the maximum occupancy permitted in their space.

d. All churches should post the maximum capacity for occupancy number (50 or under) in a

visible space on the doors of the building.

e. People are not to gather in the vestibule or near the doors of the church before or after Mass. If the pastor wishes to greet parishioners after Mass, physical distancing must be maintained and wearing a facemask should be considered.

f. Offertory counting procedures must be enhanced to include hand sanitizers, gloves, and a large well-ventilated area to ensure social distancing is respected.

7. ENTRANCES AND EXISTS: a. When possible, entrance and exit doors should be propped open as people enter and exit,

so that the parishioners need not touch the handles or doors to enter or exit.

b. At least one entrance should be open and accessible to the handicapped. If more than one entrance is open, care must be taken to control the overall number of people entering and to provide for their proper sanitation.

c. When possible, multiple exits should be used at the end of Mass to expedite departure and minimize chances of people encountering one another.

d. Once the maximum of 50 persons in the church/hall/parking lot on the property is reached, no one else may enter. People who simply show up for Mass at the door must be turned away in a polite and respectful manner. Parishioners should also be advised to contact the parish office, in order to make the necessary arrangements to be included at a future Mass.

e. Parish bulletins are not to be printed and distributed. All paper and other loose printed items, library books, and religious articles should be removed from the foyer.

f. Holy Water and Baptismal fonts remain empty.

5 | P a g e

8. SEATING IN THE PEWS:

a. To maintain physical distancing, seating may be restricted to every second or third pew (or row of seats). Seats that can be used should be clearly marked. Rows may be conveniently closed off with painter’s tape, which will not damage the pews. In a large church, some sections may be cordoned off to reduce the need for sanitizing everywhere.

b. All hymnals, missals, pew cards, and other loose items in the pews must be removed, in order to facilitate cleaning.

c. Collection baskets must not be passed from person to person in the pews. A locked

collection box, or other secure box, perhaps under the supervision of an usher/greeter may be provided for parishioners to deposit their offerings.

9. CLEANING, SANITIZING AND DISINFECTING:

a. Cleaning protocols must be defined, implemented and followed and a log of cleaning must

be kept demonstrating due diligence in keeping the premises sanitized.

b. All high touch surfaces must be sanitized between Masses in the church proper, including pews, kneelers, doors handles, etc.

c. An adequate stock of hand sanitizer and other cleaning supplies, including disposable gloves for cleaners, should be readily available at the time of reopening.

d. Janitorial staff, volunteers or others who are not vulnerable because of age or health

conditions must clean and sanitize the pews and other common high touch touched surfaces immediately after every Mass.

e. Due to the need for strict cleaning and sanitizing, it is recommended that restrooms be closed or open with limited access and available for emergencies.

f. Parish cry rooms may be closed or restricted to one family. They may be used only if proper circulation can be assured, and they will need to be carefully cleaned after use.

g. Kneelers in front of the statues should be removed. All kneelers in front of the Vigil Lights should be removed. The sticks that are used to light the Vigil Lights should be used only once and then discarded.

Thank you for your prayers and efforts as we work together to embrace a new Pentecost. In Communion,

Most Reverend Gary Gordon Bishop of Victoria

May 21, 2020 Dear People of God,

“Called to Embrace a New Pentecost”

The springtime of the first Pentecost, as the Holy Spirit descended upon the Disciples in the upper room, was made visible with a rushing wind and tongues of fire. The new springtime of reopening our liturgical gatherings is a Pentecost event that will be ushered in with a gentle breeze and a flame of patient love that speaks to the grace of tenderness.

During this time of uncertainty, we are being called to embrace a new Pentecost, a new reality that will be ushered in with a gentle breeze and a flame of patient love that speaks to the grace of tenderness. As we prepare our faith communities to reopen to celebrate Pentecost together on May 30, 2020, we recognize that each parish has different resources that must be carefully considered. Each parish must take responsibility for following the established Guidelines and Liturgical Directives and make the appropriate adaptations for their individual communities based upon size and resources, and communicate with parishioners via the usual methods of email, webpage, or phone. Due diligence is required as we all have a responsibility to guarantee the well-being of all our communities. DIRECTIVES:

1. DISPENSATION FROM THE OBLIGATION to attend Sunday Mass:

Parishioners in the Diocese of Victoria remain dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass during this initial reopening phase.

2. CHARITY, care and concern for others:

All those attending Mass do so at their own risk and must take responsibility for protecting themselves and others. Individuals may consider the option of wearing a mask to increase their level of safety and comfort.

2 | P a g e

As an act of supreme charity, the following people must stay home for the sake of others in the community: a. People with Covid-19, or those who live with someone with Covid-19. b. People who have been exposed to someone with Covid-19 c. The sick, including those with ANY symptoms or feelings of sickness, especially if they

have a fever, upper respiratory or flu-like symptoms. d. Those who have recently travelled outside of Canada.

The following are encouraged to stay home: a. People who live with someone with upper respiratory or flu-like symptoms. b. People, especially the elderly (over 65 years of age) with underlying or comprised medical

conditions. c. Family members who live with elderly people or those at risk.

3. COMMUNICATION:

a. Pastors and Administrators, in consultation with their Parish Pastoral Councils, Liturgical Committee, Parish Support Staff and others concerned, must communicate clearly and effectively with their parishioners their plans for when and how they will resume public Masses.

Specifically, the communication must cover these areas:

¾ How the parish will determine the 50-person maximum to attend a given Mass?

¾ How the parish will ensure physical distancing?

¾ The measures the parish will take to ensure proper cleaning & sanitizing.

b. The Mass schedule, if altered to allow more time between Masses for cleaning or to provide for additional Masses, should be published and the revised schedule sent to the Chancellor.

4. CONGREGATION LIMITED TO 50 Person Maximum (including the Pastor): a. Parishioners will sign up to attend a specific Mass at a specific time on a regular basis.

Aside from people with special needs, preferential treatment should be avoided. Among the possibilities for assigning parishioners are a rotation based on the first letter of last names; an online ticketing system; or the formation of fixed “community Mass groups.”

b. A sign-up system is the simplest and recommended method for parishes to solicit the names of parishioners who wish to attend a regular Sunday Mass or Mass during the week. Depending on the method of sign-up chosen, the parishioners should be able to choose the Mass they prefer to attend insofar as this is possible.

3 | P a g e

c. Each “community Mass group” will be assigned a regular Mass time on Saturday, Sunday or a weekday. They may not attend a Mass at another time; nor should they sign up for more than one Mass. Multiple and easily accessible options for sign-up should be employed, such as a combination of methods including online sign-ups, written sign-ups, email, and phone calls.

d. A “first-come, first-served” system, as well as exclusively online or email sign-up systems should be avoided since restriction to these methods might exclude many who otherwise would wish to attend.

e. Signs should be placed on the church doors to indicate the Mass schedule, provide a telephone number, and email address for people wanting to attend Mass.

f. Physical distancing guidelines should be posted on the church doors and, where appropriate, elsewhere inside the church. The Diocese will provide a limited number of posters and social distancing “stand here” decals as templates for each parish to display.

g. A database record of the contact information is required and a detailed list (“attendance roster” or log record) of those who attend each Mass must be retained. In the case of an individual who tests positive for COVID-19, the parish will be able to assist public health officials with tracing by contacting everyone who may have been exposed.

5. RESPONSIBILITIES OF USHERS AND GREETERS:

a. The responsibilities of the volunteer ushers and greeters will actually increase during this time for they will be the first point of contact for arriving parishioners. They need to be masked, identified by badges or other means, and able to interact with the parishioners while still maintaining physical distancing.

b. The ushers/greeters should have a copy of an “attendance roster” to confirm that those who arrive for Mass have previously signed up and that their contact information is available.

c. Ushers stationed at the church entrance can monitor those who enter, reminding them of the requirement for physical distancing of two metres and for sanitizing their hands. Members of a single household may enter and exit together, since they do not need to practice physical distancing with each other.

d. Hand sanitizing should take place near the entrance to the church for those coming to Mass. A bottle of sanitizer, touched by many, should not be used. Instead, an automatic dispenser or an usher/greeter wearing a mask will need to spray the hands of those entering.

e. The ushers/greeters would also be responsible for pointing out available pews for seating.

f. The ushers/greeters could also be responsible for spacing and limiting parishioners entering the line for communion.

4 | P a g e

6. PHYSICAL AND SOCIAL DISTANCING:

a. Except for members of the same household, physical distancing is to be observed everywhere on the church property (in the church, on the steps, in the parking lot, etc.); close contact with those outside one’s household must not be within two metres of another person.

b. The maximum of 50 people on the Church property (including church, hall, parking lot, etc.)

at one time must be strictly followed.

c. Smaller churches may not be able to accommodate 50 people at a time to allow for the required social and physical distancing requirements; therefore, the parish will need to determine the maximum occupancy permitted in their space.

d. All churches should post the maximum capacity for occupancy number (50 or under) in a

visible space on the doors of the building.

e. People are not to gather in the vestibule or near the doors of the church before or after Mass. If the pastor wishes to greet parishioners after Mass, physical distancing must be maintained and wearing a facemask should be considered.

f. Offertory counting procedures must be enhanced to include hand sanitizers, gloves, and a large well-ventilated area to ensure social distancing is respected.

7. ENTRANCES AND EXISTS: a. When possible, entrance and exit doors should be propped open as people enter and exit,

so that the parishioners need not touch the handles or doors to enter or exit.

b. At least one entrance should be open and accessible to the handicapped. If more than one entrance is open, care must be taken to control the overall number of people entering and to provide for their proper sanitation.

c. When possible, multiple exits should be used at the end of Mass to expedite departure and minimize chances of people encountering one another.

d. Once the maximum of 50 persons in the church/hall/parking lot on the property is reached, no one else may enter. People who simply show up for Mass at the door must be turned away in a polite and respectful manner. Parishioners should also be advised to contact the parish office, in order to make the necessary arrangements to be included at a future Mass.

e. Parish bulletins are not to be printed and distributed. All paper and other loose printed items, library books, and religious articles should be removed from the foyer.

f. Holy Water and Baptismal fonts remain empty.

5 | P a g e

8. SEATING IN THE PEWS:

a. To maintain physical distancing, seating may be restricted to every second or third pew (or row of seats). Seats that can be used should be clearly marked. Rows may be conveniently closed off with painter’s tape, which will not damage the pews. In a large church, some sections may be cordoned off to reduce the need for sanitizing everywhere.

b. All hymnals, missals, pew cards, and other loose items in the pews must be removed, in order to facilitate cleaning.

c. Collection baskets must not be passed from person to person in the pews. A locked

collection box, or other secure box, perhaps under the supervision of an usher/greeter may be provided for parishioners to deposit their offerings.

9. CLEANING, SANITIZING AND DISINFECTING:

a. Cleaning protocols must be defined, implemented and followed and a log of cleaning must

be kept demonstrating due diligence in keeping the premises sanitized.

b. All high touch surfaces must be sanitized between Masses in the church proper, including pews, kneelers, doors handles, etc.

c. An adequate stock of hand sanitizer and other cleaning supplies, including disposable gloves for cleaners, should be readily available at the time of reopening.

d. Janitorial staff, volunteers or others who are not vulnerable because of age or health

conditions must clean and sanitize the pews and other common high touch touched surfaces immediately after every Mass.

e. Due to the need for strict cleaning and sanitizing, it is recommended that restrooms be closed or open with limited access and available for emergencies.

f. Parish cry rooms may be closed or restricted to one family. They may be used only if proper circulation can be assured, and they will need to be carefully cleaned after use.

g. Kneelers in front of the statues should be removed. All kneelers in front of the Vigil Lights should be removed. The sticks that are used to light the Vigil Lights should be used only once and then discarded.

Thank you for your prayers and efforts as we work together to embrace a new Pentecost. In Communion,

Most Reverend Gary Gordon Bishop of Victoria

Dear Parishioners , This Sunday is Good Shepherd Sunday where we pray for priestly vocations in the Church. One of Jesus’ titles is that of High Priest of the New Covenant. The priesthood of Jesus is different from the one’s that came before as he is both the priest and the offering. You will notice that in the Mass, Jesus offers himself to the Father and to us, even when we cannot receive him. By the simple fact that the Mass has been celebrated, something important has occurred for our benefit in a way that is reminiscent of Israel's worship in the Temple, but greater. In keeping with that, my next series of online talks will be around Israel's return to the Temple after their Babylonian Exile. I believe that there are lessons to be learned from their experience and I will explore them in these talks. Tune in to our YouTube channel, CTKComox for more.

God bless Fr David

May 1, 2020 Feast of St. Joseph the Worker Dear friends in Christ,

“Be Ready to Open the Door” In solidarity with Pope Francis, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) and a number of Episcopal Conferences throughout the world, today I consecrate the Diocese of Victoria to Mary, Mother of the Church. During this traditional Marian month of May, as we unite in prayer, we continue to seek the maternal protection and intercession of our Blessed Mother during the Coronavirus pandemic. It is most appropriate at this time, unparalleled in modern history, to seek Our Blessed Mother’s protection and intercession with her Son, Jesus. It was Mary’s loving response and “yes” to God’s will that opened up the world to receive God’s only begotten son, Jesus, born of Mary, and the power of the Holy Spirit. During the month of May I invite everyone to pray the rosary at home, so that the world, and the churches, long houses, mosques, synagogues and temples may be opened in freedom from Covid-19. Opened up to new life, to a “new normal”, creating solidarity, justice and peace, moving towards the horizon of hope for all in the midst of our global vulnerability. What will “new life” look like? That is a good question, for only God knows the answer. However, if we are docile to the Holy Spirit, we too, will be open to the challenges of a “new normal”. We look forward to the day when our churches will re-open and a small committee is planning for this eventuality to ensure that all are safe, healthy, and there is no further spread of Covid-19. This will mean changes in the way we gather as Church to celebrate the Liturgy. Opening will be much more complicated than closing, for it will be gradual. We need patience and docility to the Holy Spirit for our joyful re-entry as a community, for our full and active participation in the Liturgy, gathered around the table of the Word and Eucharist. The world and our Church need the intercession of Mary, who reveals the maternal face of God for us, God’s children. We have much to learn from the example of Mary and her faithful responses when she: was fearful and troubled at the Annunciation (Lk 1:26-38); experienced the poverty of giving birth to Jesus in a stable (Lk 2: 1-6); fled to Egypt as refugees (Mt 2:13-15); lost Jesus in the temple (Lk 2: 41-49); had no wine at the wedding in Cana (Jn 2:1-12); and stood at the foot of cross (Jn 19:25-27). Mary’s witness guides the world and us to a new way of authentic humility, and a revolution of tenderness, as we seek a way to live in mercy and justice for the vulnerable. Indeed, vulnerability is what we all experience during this time of Covid-19. …/2

The global pandemic has pushed the Church, her pastors and people, outside. The words of our Holy Father Pope Francis in Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of the Gospel), may now be seen as prophetic for they prepared the way for a “new normal,” provided we are docile to the Spirit, like Mary. “I dream of a missionary option, that is, a missionary impulse capable of transforming everything, so that the Church’s customs, ways of doing things, times and schedules, language and structures can be suitably channeled for the evangelization of today’s world rather than for her self-preservation”. (#27)

The reality of social distancing, staying home, and not being able to gather in large groups to prevent the spread of a deadly virus (especially to our vulnerable elders) are signs of charity, concern and caution, and represent a dramatic shift. It is a shift for the pastors, school teachers, catechists, and all people as we have shifted from “showing up” in churches and schools, to “showing up” virtually in homes via the phone lines and internet. These moments to reach out, beyond the walls, are unparalleled in modern times. This is also a missionary opportunity that is virtually limited, in terms of our traditional understanding of human encounter. This new missionary opportunity may serve as a time to plant seeds of the Gospel, much like the invisible working of the Holy Spirit in what missiology would call “pre-evangelization”. Again, Pope Francis in The Joy of the Gospel points out, “Pastoral ministry in a missionary key seeks to abandon the complacent attitude that says: ‘We have always done it this way’. I invite everyone to be bold and creative in this task as we rethink the goals, structures, styles and methods of evangelization in our respective communities”. (#33)

As we journey through the month of May, and we prepare spiritually to celebrate the feast of Pentecost on

May 31st, we are invited to reflect on the role that Mary may have played in that dramatic outpouring of the Holy Spirit, when a rushing wind and tongues of fire appeared on the heads of the bewildered and frozen apostles. I think that Mary probably unlocked the door of the upper room, opened it wide, gently pointed her finger towards the open door and said to the astonished apostles, “get going”! Perhaps Mary literally pushed them out the door and compelled them to venture into a very tired and sick world, to the very ends of the earth, to share the Good News of new life in the Risen Christ.

We pray to Mary during the month of May to help us to hear her courageous “yes” to God at the Annunciation, which opened the door to healing in her Son Jesus. May her going forth in that “valley of tears,” all the way to the foot of the cross and beyond to the empty tomb and Pentecost, lead us to a “new normal” as disciples of her Son. May the people of God no longer be satisfied with the old normal of “showing up” in buildings. But rather, “showing up” for the marginal, weak and scattered flock of our communities, to build a civilization of love ̶ one sidewalk at a time, one vulnerable person at a time. We pray fervently for the intercession of Mary, our Blessed Mother, for the grace and tenderness to help us to accompany in humility and hope all whom we encounter on our pilgrim journey. In Communion,

Most Rev. Gary Gordon Bishop of Victoria

Dear Parishioners of Christ the King Parish, I hope that many of you are finding new blessings in this Resurrection season. During this time of encounter with the Risen Lord, the Apostles are preparing in a preparatory seclusion before they begin their mission to preach the Gospel. This time of preparation and prayer is appropriate for ourselves because our return to church -whenever that will happen- can not and will not be the same as before. Also, we must resist the temptation grind our personal axes on this present trial. St Peter could not preach the Gospel while resenting Pilate, Caiaphas, or anyone else. He also had to acknowledge and seek forgiveness for denying the Lord. It would be a sad thing if we did not grow in the Lord during this trial. However, I would put it more positively: I am sure that we will be a better, more faithful, and more joyful Parish once we emerge from our seclusion. Like the Apostles, I believe that we will emerge ready to preach the Gospel to a waiting world.

God bless, Fr David

Happy Easter to everyone! This Second Sunday of Easter we also call, "Divine Mercy Sunday". The title comes from a devotion popularized out of Poland during the middle of the twentieth century. This devotion, like all others, is meant to draw our attention to the mercy of God revealed in Jesus. It is not as if St. Faustina taught us something new. She reminded us of something that we are prone to forgetting: that God's greatest attribute is love revealed in mercy. This truth would prove especially consoling to many Poles as they would watch the Nazis and the Soviets commit horrible atrocities in their worship of earthly power and prosperity. In spite of these crimes against God and humanity, God's mercy is ever greater. Today, as we are less oppressed by human malice as by fear and disease, we are reminded that God's power is greater than any tragedy that we can experience.

This Sunday is also when we commemorate Thomas' confession of faith when he declares Jesus: Lord and God. Thomas' confession of faith was built upon the premise of the tragedy of the Cross. He could not imagine a way in which Jesus could conquer the grave. That is why Jesus appeared before Thomas in his Risen Body and let Thomas touch his hands and side. It is based on that experience that Thomas came to believe. It is that confession that the Church continues to preach. It is that confession that St. Faustina renewed in the Church and it is now our responsibility to make that joyous declaration visible in our lives!

Baptism: For newborns through to 6 years old, parents attend a Baptism Preparation. Contact Fr. David via email or the parish office at 250-334-4716, ideally before the birth of your child thereby allowing sufficient time to attend the group preparation session and to take other steps if needed. Children 7 years and older prepare through Religious Education Classes. Adults wishing to be Baptized should also contact the Pastor.

Funeral: Our condolences, please call the parish office 250-334-4716 to begin arrangements with Fr David.

Marriage: Because the Church is deeply concerned about each marriage & because growth and preparation of a couple is vital to the success of the marriage, couples are asked to give six months notice prior to the intended date of their wedding. Contact the Parish office at 334-4716.

The Sick: The Sacrament of the Sick is best celebrated once an illness has been diagnosed. Those in hospital wishing a visit from a priest should make this desire known as soon as possible. Those home-bound wishing to receive communion are asked to call the Parish office. The Sacrament of Anointing is available on request and during communal celebrations.

M E M O Date: March 12, 2020 To: All Clergy, Parishes, Schools, Church Groups, & Ministries From: Bishop Gary Gordon Re: Directives for Groups & Ministries in Response to COVID-19

As we continue to monitor the effects of COVID-19 in Canada, we must be diligent in our efforts to lessen the potential spread of the virus. We know that the well-being of your loved ones are the most important concern for you during this time.

We want to let you know that we are monitoring the situation closely, and we believe that the risk of COVID-19 adversely affecting our parishes remains low.

However, some of the things that we can do to anticipate and minimize the possible spread of the virus are:

1. Remain vigilant about hand hygiene, and avoid unnecessary contact (hand shaking, hugging etc.)

2. Out of consideration for the well-being of others in the community, the elderly, anyone with an underlying health condition, and those who feel even remotely unwell are excused from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass.

3. If parishioners have access to television or the internet, those who remain at home may watch Mass at https://dailytvmass.com/ or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/dailytvmass or on VisionTV.

4. In order to reduce social isolation, I encourage everyone to find ways to mobilize people to make phone calls to those who must remain at home, and to provide services such as delivering food and necessary items. Being in regular contact with other parishioners will alleviate loneliness for the homebound.

5. Social gatherings such as pancake breakfasts, pot lucks, buffets, etcetera, that are not essential to the congregation should be suspended until COVID-19 passes.

6. Practice social distancing (2 metres apart) as much as possible.

The situation is fluid and subject to rapid change. We will continue to stay informed, and will share relevant information with you as it is released to us.

We continue to pray for one another, those who are sick, and for our whole society that we may live in charity, be free of anxiety, that our gracious God will bring a swift end to COVID-19, and grant us strength in these challenging times.

Going into Hospital? If you are planning to enter the hospital for surgery, it is spiritually advantageous to contact Fr. David and to arrange to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Anointing prior to being admitted to hospital. At the very least, do tell someone at the parish office that you are going into the hospital. The Eucharist is taken to patients in the Hospital on Thursday and Sunday afternoons. If you have someone in the Hospital who wishes to receive the Eucharist please contact the Parish Office. We have no other way of knowing this information, as privacy legislation restricts the information that can be given to us by the Comox Valley Regional Hospital.

Parish Bus Trip to Chemainus Theatre Join us for the Sound of Music

Wednesday, April 3, 2019 Bus to Chemainus, enjoy a delicious luncheon and

then the Musical: Sound of Music. Tickets: $95 each

Based on the story of the von Trapp family singers, this thrilling and inspirational family musical follows the romantic story of Captain von Trapp and governess Maria as they fall in love and bring a family together, during the turbulent and frightening time preceding World War II. When Nazis demand the immediate enlistment of the Captain, this couple’s love and courage helps them narrowly escape over the Austrian mountains with their seven children. Their story comes to life onstage with beloved songs “My Favourite Things,” “Do-Re-Mi,” “Climb Every Mountain,” and of course “The Sound of Music.” The loveliest musical imaginable…vibrant and amusing…a plot

that rises to genuine excitement. Please sign-up and pay at the Parish office, the bus will

fill quickly so don’t miss your chance!
